a memory of a bloody big drought

(all square colour remix) on the Landsborough Highway outside Morvan on the road to Augathella, Queensland, Australia.

 

There was a severe drought in outback Queensland up to about the end of 2010 (depending where you were). This pic was taken in late 2006 on a day it was cloudy again, but no rain. This area was particularly hard hit by the drought, as you can see hardly a blade of grass. Of course in the land of extremes, the drought was broken with severe, widespread flooding, culminating in the disastrous floods across about 90% of Queensland in December 2010-January 2011, which also flooded Brisbane.
